The Commanders take the Husky safety in the fifth round.
He played more games than any other University of Washington football player in the history of the program -- 57 -- topped by his national championship showdown appearance against Michigan, but Dominque Hampton is hardly too exhausted to keep going.On Saturday, the Commanders from the nation's capital city made the 6-foot-3, 220-pound Hampton the 161st pick in the fifth round of the NFL Draft, raising the number of Huskies selected to nine at that point.
Hampton was a much more slender cornerback when he appeared in four games for the Huskies back as a first-year player in 2018 for Chris Petersen's coaching staff, and was a little ahead of his time. The aforementioned Ulofoshio, then a walk-on, played just three games for the UW that season, as did future Husky quarterback Michael Penix Jr. that year at Indiana.
He played in 11 games in 2019 and four more in 2020, all coming off the bench, before starting 3 of 11 for Jimmy Lake's staff in 2021 to make his way into the lineup.
